In a grid of 10m x 10m a possession game is played in a 4 v 2 situation. Four attacking players are placed outside the orange square.
Players need to pass always on the side first. If the white players win the ball they try to play between them. The Attackers in red, need to win the ball back, when they win the ball from the defenders they need to spread width to the outside.
Rotate players in the middle every 2 minutes.
1. Angle, distance and timing of support
2. Body position when receiving pass - open to field/box
3. Good first touch in order to take away ball from pressure
4. Communication and vision of the game.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
